Trump recounts assassination attempt in RNC speech | BBC Americast

Five days after surviving an assassination attempt, Donald Trump has addressed the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

In a record-length speech, he described in detail the moment he was shot before paying tribute to the Pennsylvania fire chief who was killed at the rally.

Melania Trump made a rare public appearance, joining her husband on stage, along with other family members.

Meanwhile US President Joe Biden faces new questions over his candidacy for re-election.

On this week’s Americast, the BBC’s Sarah Smith, Anthony Zurcher and Justin Webb discuss another huge day in American politics from Milwaukee.
